Basically it is nflux slack edition; just with alot of bible apps and depends included.

The AOGOS/nFlux Slackware Current Edition contains the full power of a complete slackware install
minus JRE and QT4.
Bible Apps include Bibletime 2.6, Sword 1.6.1, BibleDesktop , Alkitab , and many cool Christian
helper scripts and themes, etc
Notable Apps include Abiword, Gnumeric, Kompozer, Nano, MC, Firefox, Gxine, and many other
cool apps, some are made from source, then made into slackpkg's.

This version features all compiling and development tools needed to make packages, along with SBopkg and src2pkg.

Install, etc info:

Install to hard drive:

This slackware version has a terminal-driven install script (nflux-installer), and there is a manual method that I have used many times and is documented here http://multidistro.com/distros/slack-slax-based/HowTo

Also note that the how-to is for experienced users familiar with Lilo. Grub1 is installed also, (and grub2 as module) but you would have to manually setup everything which really isn’t that hard.

Install to USB:

Follow the links above about slax info as this version was made with LinuxLiveScripts and thus runs as Slax does. Slax 6.1.2 modules, etc are not compatible because Slax is 12.2 and this version is slackware/current. However, you can easily convert slack 13 pkg’s into slax modules.

Window Manager:
Fluxbox

Display Manager:
Gnome Display Manager GDM

Configure X?
a script named xconf sourced from Slax Linux will try to autoconfigure x for you.
If you choose No it will use Vesa driver.
If neither normal xconf works and vesa configure doesn't work
aftre logging in, use nano, mc, or vi to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
or copy existing vesa xorg.conf to reg xorg.conf

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf-vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf

How to start X?

There are three ways to startx X

1) after logging in type in "startx"

2) after logging in type in "gdm", and GDM will run desktop.

There are no known bugs.
